PRECAUTION
HANDLING PRECAUTION FOR DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
Keep in mind the following points when servicing vehicles equipped with the dynamic radar cruise control system.
(a) The dynamic radar cruise control system is designed to be used when driving on highways and freeways. As the system may not operate correctly when driving on roads used by pedestrians and bicycles, do not use dynamic radar cruise control system on roads used by pedestrians and bicycles as an accident may result.
(b) Do not overly rely on the dynamic radar cruise control system.
(c) The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly dirt detection function.
HINT:
The preceding conditions may result in the vehicle being unable to maintain an appropriate distance with the preceding vehicle.
(d) Always keep the front surface of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and the front and rear surfaces of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly grille cover clean.
(e) The dynamic radar cruise control system does not operate or give a vehicle approach warning for vehicles which are stopped or driving at significantly slower speeds.
(f) When following another vehicle with vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode controlling vehicle speed, the vehicle will not accelerate if the +RES switch is pushed, as the speed is controlled in accordance with the speed of the preceding vehicle.
NOTICE:
If the set vehicle speed is increased by pushing the +RES switch, the vehicle will accelerate to the newly set speed when the preceding vehicle moves out of the lane.
HINT:
The set vehicle speed can be confirmed on the multi-information display.
(g) The actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance may be shorter than the set vehicle-to-vehicle distance when driving on a downhill road.
(h) When a system malfunction is detected, a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly and the buzzer sounds.
(i) Keep the windshield glass clean.
(j) Do not apply excessive force to the forward recognition camera or subject it to a strong impact.
(k) Do not disassemble the forward recognition camera.
(l) Do not attach a sticker to the windshield glass in the area in front of the forward recognition camera.
(m) If the heater is used with FOOT mode selected, the upper area of the windshield glass may fog up, affecting the operation of the forward recognition camera.
HINT:
If the windshield glass fogs up, clear it using the front defroster.
(n) Do not damage the forward recognition camera lens or allow it to become dirty.
HINT:
(o) Do not place any objects on top of the instrument panel.
HINT:
If an object is reflecting off of the windshield glass, the performance of the forward recognition camera may decrease.
(p) The vehicle approach warning buzzer does not sound when constant speed control mode is controlling vehicle speed because the presence of and distance to the preceding vehicle is not calculated.
(q) As the controls performed by constant speed control mode and vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode are different, always confirm which mode is selected before operating the dynamic radar cruise control system.
(r) When operating the turn signal when in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the distance to the preceding vehicle may reduce as part of preparation to change lanes.
(s) Take the following precautions concerning the dynamic radar cruise control system.
(1) Turn the dynamic radar cruise control system off using the cruise control main switch when not using the dynamic radar cruise control system.
(2) Be careful as the vehicle speed may increase beyond the set vehicle speed when driving downhill even when the dynamic radar cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed.
(3) If cruise control operation was canceled, and if the vehicle speed is within the settable speed range, pushing the +RES switch restores the vehicle speed memorized at the time of cancellation, and constant speed control resumes. If the vehicle is being driven at a constant speed, pushing the +RES switch accelerates the vehicle.
(4) If the cruise control indicator turns off and a warning message is displayed when the dynamic radar cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed, turn the dynamic radar cruise control system off then on using the cruise control main switch and set the dynamic radar cruise control system vehicle set speed again. If the dynamic radar cruise control system does not turn on or stops functioning immediately after being set, there may be a malfunction in the dynamic radar cruise control system.
(5) Do not use the dynamic radar cruise control system where the road conditions are as follows:
(6) Do not use the dynamic radar cruise control system while towing.
